Congressman, you just heard what Dr. Makary said about why we\u2019re not pushing these treatments. It\u2019s this vaccine-or-else policy. What do you think is behind that, Congressman?<\/p>\n<p>REP. ANDY BIGGS (R-AZ): Well, thanks, Lisa. Good to be with you. I think he is right in two reasons. Number one, when he talks about Big Pharma having other economic interests, they got on a path and they want to keep this path there. And, these other therapeutics aren\u2019t really going to make them a lot of money. So, you got to look at the money angle for sure. But then, you also have to look at the efficacy of big government married to Big Pharma here and what you see is kind of this power, this control, this move for that. That\u2019s also what\u2019s going on, in my opinion,<\/p>\n<p>BOOTHE: What kind of control does Big Pharma have over Congress, do you think? How much control?<\/p>\n<p>BIGGS: Well, Lisa, if you\u2019d look at the Federal Elections Commission reports, you\u2019re going to see that Pharma contribute to a lot of members of Congress and they contribute a lot of money. They may be the biggest lobbyist organization there. And so, they do have a lot of SWAC. And, some of it is necessary, of course, because we need that information in Congress. But, other parts of it make you wonder and this epidemic of COVID has really called a lot of those relationships into question and I think they need to be explored a whole lot more.<\/p>\n<p>BOOTHE: Is that why do you think there is not a lot of talk about natural immunity because there is no natural immunity lobbyists on Capitol Hill?<\/p>\n<p>BIGGS: Yes. That\u2019s exactly what it is. I mean, just think about it. So, Donald Trump poisoned the well by simply saying he thought hydroxychloroquine might work. Well, OK. So, nobody is going to go there and Pharma are not going to go there because it costs five cents a pill. Then, you get ivermectin, oh, no, that \u2013 there may be a Nobel Prize that came with that one. But, you know what, that\u2019s horse [dewormer].<\/p>\n<p>All of that stuff indicates to me that there was a focus on a new product, new sources of revenue. And then, you marry that up with government and then you get folks like Fauci, I mean, who is all over the ballpark. Let\u2019s not kid ourselves. Dr. Fauci has been all over the place, everything from you should never wear a mask to double mask, maybe five masks, whatever it was. You marry those together and you\u2019re going to get the kind of confused messaging that we\u2019ve seen out there over COVID.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Follow Jeff Poor on Twitter <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jeff_poor\">@jeff_poor<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday on FNC\u2019s \u201cThe Ingraham Angle,\u201d Rep.
